All these parts impact your skateboard's performance and the type and size of skate trucks you choose — or that will fit your skateboard — directly affect your stability. Choosing and maintaining the right skateboard trucks is also key to avoiding wheel bite, which happens when your wheels rub against your board and cause you to stop on impact during a trick or turn.
Trucks can easily be adjusted to perform tighter turns or tricks on your board, but you can also choose softer bushings for easy turning, or hard bushings for stiff turning. How loose or tight you keep your trucks really depends on how you prefer to skate, but it all starts with choosing the right trucks and building the appropriate type of skateboard for your style.

Skateboard trucks are made up of several main components: Axle The axle is the long pin that runs through the hanger and attaches to the wheels. For the best fit, the ends of your axle should line up or come close to the sides of your skateboard. Different brands use different scales to measure the axle width, but generally stick to either measurements in millimeters or inches.
Hanger The hanger is the triangular metal piece that is the largest part of the skateboard truck, and supports the axle, which runs straight through it. Kingpin The kingpin is the big bolt that fits inside the bushings and holds the skate trucks parts together. Recently, hollow kingpins and axles have been on the rise because they weigh less, but don't compromise strength or durability.
Just remember that even solid kingpins can break, mostly because it controls the amount of overall pressure placed upon bushings. MID - Good all-around profile for street or park mm wheel size recommended.
The hanger is the truck's T-shaped aluminum alloy grind area. It makes direct contact with rails and curbs. The hanger holds the axle on which the wheels are mounted. Hangers weigh about oz, with lighter ones available.
